We are setting up a machine with dual nic cards to go between the "drop" cable from the building network and our managed switch to run IPNetMonitorX.

Once the machine is hooked up, will it automatically re-route the connections from one nic card to the other, or does IPNetMonitorX have to be running? If it does need to be running, what is the basic configuration to get it to work before doing more configurations?

I basically want to get the setup working (for obvious reasons) before going into IPNetMonitor and doing any sort of configuration changes. I can't afford to bring the network down for any length of time
